[Updated] New BBC Top Gear trailer released

[Kursk]

This Top Gear 'controversy' is starting to look very orchestrated.

If the Beeb reported that someone farted in the canteen there'd be a petition/endless news coverage/a debate about who did it/a men v women who-can-fart-the-best discussion/a lesbian-transgender-homo-hetero-disabled-mentally challenged-bake-off. Strewth.

It's just cars with over-enunciated and predictably boorish presentation. Alf Garnet could do the job.

The only ever review i found useful from Top Gear was the review on the Vauxhall Vectra that showed that the steering was awful above 40mph. I was actually looking to buy one new until i saw the review and opted for a Renault Megane instead.

That's really interesting and informative, thank you.

The beeb will always need a "middle aged men behaving badly" type of show. I doubt this is the end for TG.

That was "old" Top Gear, IIRC. Clarkson did his review to a soundtrack of "We were never being boring" by the Pet Shop Boys and accused GM of "industrial arrogance" for producing such a lacklustre vehicle. Vauxhall refused to talk to him for months afterwards.

Old Top Gear reviewed ordinary cars in order to help ordinary consumers make informed choices. New Top Gear cooks up crazy stunts to give ordinary consumers a vicarious thrill from cars they could never afford, and situations they never encounter.

I dont think he liked my little car. He smashed one up with a sledgehammer, to show what he thought of it. I love it though, cheap to run and gets me from A-B. Its a Perodua btw

So called fans (trolls) making death threats on the internet against the producer... really... what kind of people are these.

It'll probably just feel longer...

Yep looks like a middle-aged, rich Yorkshire Tory voting man who acts like a teen who thinks he can do and get away with anything while driving expensive cars which we can only dream of owning.
